WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES 2025 - Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous! (Bill Moyer) Let's get busy and find the marvelous!
Classes are held at the Art Center of Estes Park, CO. Time is 10am to 4pm on scheduled days.
FEBRUARY 19TH - 8 steps to creating depth and different planes in your paintings. BRING A SKETCH BOOK AND PHOTOS OF LANDSCAPES THAT INTERESTS YOU.
MARCH 19 - WHAT ARE YOUR ART GOALS FOR THE YEAR AND LIFE? DISCUSSION!
Study for the day is: mapping - connecting darks - edges, and how these work to tie shapes together and helps you think of the whole page for your composition rather than individual things. WE WILL WORK FROM SEVERAL PHOTOS RATHER THAN JUST ONE. FIND 2 OR 3 PHOTOS THAT HAVE SUBJECTS THAT YOU MIGHT COMBINE IN TO ONE COMPOSITION. WORKING WITH MORE THAN ONE PHOTO KEEPS YOU FROM JUST COPYING A PHOTO AND EVERYTHING IN IT.
APRIL 16 - Every subject of a painting has more than one possibility. Does the painting ask a question and do you have to answer it? Does a painting have to have a story? Elements to consider: light and value, edges, color, composition, number of shapes, etc. I WILL BRING FLOWERS FOR THE PAINTING SUBJECT.
MAY 21 - Color - Intensity - Value - we will make a color intensity chart and a simple green chart and your own color wheel . If you have Steve Quiller's color wheel please bring it. Make a painting using complementary colors or split compliment to help you understand intensity. BRING 2 OR 3 OBJECTS FOR A SIMPLE STILL LIFE PAINTING FOR THE DAY.
Do you agree that the more creativity you use the more you get? How do we find creativity?
JUNE - AUGUST - HERE WILL BE NO CLASSES SCHEDULED FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS.
SEPTEMBER 17 - We will paint on location and apply 9 drawing suggestions that will help you draw the subject you want to paint. When a
subject is not drawn well it diminishes the overall painting. BRING A NOTEBOOK FOR THE DISCUSSION ON DRAWING SKILLS AND YOUR OUTDOOR PAINTING EQUIPMENT.
OCTOBER 22 - Let's throw some paint around! Let it happen! We will be outside the Art Center with buckets of water and paint. Join us for a color study of warm and cool colors. Sometimes the paint will suggest a subject for your creation or you can bring photos of birds, flowers, animals or another idea that might interest you. It is amazing what you learn when you play with paint and color. BRING SEVERAL PIECES OF WATERCOLOR PAPER. WE WILL THROW 3 OR 4 SHEETS OF WATERCOLOR. WE WILL MOVE INSIDE TO EVALUATE AND PAINT.
NOVEMBER 19 - Painting winter whites, edge control and limited palette of complimentary colors or split compliment. BRING SOME PHOTOS OF WINTER LANDSCAPES. YOU WILL LEARN HOW BEAUTIFUL THESE SUTTLE GRAY COLORS CAN WORK TOGETHER.
DECEMBER 10 - Christmas Surprise - My Christmas gift to all the students that took classes in 2025. Free class and Cathy will serve lunch .
